One of approximately 600 manufactured in .30 caliber in 1877-1885, and far less were ornately factory embellished like this example. Though unconfirmed, this revolver certainly shows all the hallmarks of a gun specifically made for the large trade fairs of the late 19th century. This particular Smoot shows near full coverage, factory floral scroll and border engraving, as well as a full gold plated finish. The top of the barrel is marked with the standard one-line E. Remington & Sons address and patent date and the serial number is marked twice on the left of the grip frame under the grip panel. It is fitted with a blade front sight, notch rear sight, and a pair of smooth pearl grips.

Very fine, retains strong traces of the original gold finish in sheltered areas with the balance being primarily the attractively aged silver plating that was used as a base for the gold and crisp engraving overall. The grips are excellent with only the slightest handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
